JAIPUR: At a time when chief minister Vasundhara Raje and others were calling the teachers' role in nation building greater than any other profession at the Teachers' Day function in Jaipur on Wednesday, teachers were seen casually littering the venue by throwing water pouches, bottles, food packets, spitting, pamphlets and some were even urinating in open.

Despite dustbins placed at regular intervals inside the venue, most of the teachers hadn't bothered to use it. Ironically, teachers undergo training during B.Ed on how to inculcate the values of cleanliness, civic sense and moral values among students through activities. It appeared that they had forgotten.

The most common waste on the surface was state education department's pamphlets highlighting the achievements of the government. This coloured multi folded glossy paper pamphlet was littered from the venue to the entire stretch from Ambedkar Circle to Vidhan Sabha. The mobile urinals were way short of the gathering but it has given the reason to many teachers to conveniently urinate along the walls of the venue.

"I couldn't believe my eyes when I learnt that those throwing papers in the sky, spitting from the car window and not paying heed to honking were all government teachers. The behavior by teachers is unacceptable. I would have easily ignored it had they were not teachers and just party workers. I wonder what they will teach to students," said Ajay Chaudhary, advocate Rajasthan High Court who was stuck in the traffic jam outside Amar Jawan Jyoti.

The made situation so worst that guards at the Amat Jawan Jyothi had to stop teachers coming inside as they were littering the campus. Other than littering, teachers were also exchanged verbal spat with each other and with the police over entry and exit.
